   IMPORTANT: Participants must register within one week of the final course date. Courses will not be visible in the catalog one week after closing. 
    
2. After selecting the class, click the “Sign Up Now” button on the right side of the screen.
    
3. Attend the class and provide proof of attendance by signing in or as otherwise specified by the instructor. Note that for some courses, Frontline provides the option to “Check In” using the app. While there is no harm in doing so, the district is still using the manual sign-in sheets to verify attendance.
    
4. Mark the course Complete in Frontline and complete the online evaluation. Open courses are accessible through the Frontline Insights page.

Staff should be checking their completed courses throughout the year to address any issues before the cutoff deadlines.

Confirm that the following steps were taken:

1. Participant registered for the course within one week of the final class date.
    
2. Participant signed in for all sessions of an in-person course or submitted the required completion documents to the instructor for online courses. If there is an issue with this verification, contact the course instructor directly.

We may be able to help; however, please note that the following deadlines are strict and cannot be changed.

1. After September 30, no changes can be made to any courses taken prior to that date due to salary placement.
    
2. After July 30, no changes can be made to the previous school year. Including the salary placement deadline, this means no courses taken between October 1 and July 30 can be adjusted after July 30.
    
3. Contact Krysta Goe for assistance.

BDD and other classes with 8+ meeting dates are now divided into Semester 1 and Semester 2, so staff will need to register for both. After Semester 1 courses close, hours for that semester will show as Completed and will be visible on the transcript.

Note that Middle School BDD has an additional component, with the all-school combined Fridays separated into a different class by semester as well (four courses total for the year).
